Ultrasonic
Paint Thickness Measurement on Plastic Substrates
DeFelsko
manufactures hand-held, non-destructive
ultrasonic coating thickness
gages that are ideal for non-destructively
measuring the dry film thickness
of coatings on plastic. Many
industries now use this nondestructive
technology in their quality
programs. |

Paint
Thickness Measurement on Drywall (Gypsum
board)
The
focus of this application is
on DeFelsko's unique ability
to non-destructively measure
paint thickness on gypsum board
(more commonly referred to
as drywall). Commercial contracts
often require an independent
inspection of the work upon
completion. |

|
Conformal
Thickness Measurement on Printed Circuit Boards
Conformal
coatings are applied to Printed Circuit Boards to protect
the mounted electronic components from contaminates such
as dust, sand, moisture, salt mist and conductive particles.
DeFelsko manufactures hand-held, non-destructive coating
thickness gages that are ideal for these. |

Automotive
Paint Inspection - Paint Meters
DeFelsko
manufactures the PosiTest
DFT, which is a hand-held,
non-destructive paint meter
that is ideal for measuring
the thickness of automotive
paint on aluminum or steel
automotive panels. For
Automotive Refinishers, Resellers,
Dealerships, Inspectors & more. |

Ultrasonic
Thickness Measurement of UV-Cured Coatings
Coating thickness gages that use ultrasonic measurement
techniques are becoming increasingly popular in industries
that work with rigid substrates, such as wood, plastic
and composites. This June 2008 Radtech Report article describes
the working principle and benefits of ultrasonic testing. |

Measurement
of Lacquer thickness on Guitars
Lacquer
is applied to the guitar to
attain a glass-like sheen while
showing the beauty and luster
of the instrument. DeFelsko
manufactures gages that are
ideal for measuring the dry
film thickness of lacquers
on guitar substrates such as
graphite and wood. |

Adhesion
of Sealers on Thermal Spray Coatings
John
J. Crowe and Michael J. Makosky,
G.P.I.. discuss Adhesion
of Sealers on Thermal Spray Coatings in
accordance with ASTM D4541 (Section
E) in this December 2003 JPCL article. |

Measurement
of Effects of Erosion and Corrosion
With
ultrasonic thickness gages,
an accurate measurement of
the remaining wall thickness
of a substrate can be taken
on pipes, pressure vessels,
storage tanks, boilers or other
equipment prone to erosion
or corrosion. |
 |
|
Measurement
of Adhesion Strength
The
PosiTest AT series of pull-off
adhesion testers, along with proper
selection of dolly size, enable
an operator to accurately measure
the bond strength of most types
of coating applied to any rigid
substrate. |

|
Measuring
Outdoor Climatic Conditions
A
major factor affecting the
long term performance of coatings
on steel structures is the
climatic conditions during
pre-treatment and coating application. |

Coating
Thickness Measurement on Wires
DeFelsko
manufactures various hand-held,
non-destructive paint thickness
gauges that are ideal for measuring
coating thickness on wires. |
 |
|
Intumescent
Fire Resistive Coating Thickness Measurement
These
coatings are designed to provide
an insulating barrier between
flames and steel and are necessary
to ensure the structural performance
of the steel members at the
temperatures anticipated during
a fully developed fire. Both
of these characteristics are
highly dependant on the proper
thickness... |

Ultrasonic
Measurement of Aircraft Windows
DeFelsko
manufactures a hand-held, non-destructive
ultrasonic thickness gage that
is ideal for measuring the thickness
of aircraft windows during the
window restoration process. |
 |
|
Coating
Thickness Measurement on Masonry Substrates
DeFelsko
has the unique ability to
non-destructively measure
coating thickness on masonry.
This eliminates the need
to repair the coating after
inspection, saving time for
both the inspector and the
contractor. |

|
Screen
Printing - Measurements (mesh, emulsion, stencil thickness)
The
PosiTector 6000 FS accurately and
non-destructively measures mesh,
emulsion and stencil thickness,
as well as substrate and dry ink
deposit thickness. |
 |
|
OPC
Drum Wear Measurement
The
OPC drum is the most expensive component of a toner cartridge
and drives the entire print process. Life expectancy
is considered depleted when 5 to 15 microns (0.2 to 0.6
mils) of coating has been worn away. As the amount of
wear approaches half of its original thickness, automatic
scrap decisions are often made. |
